<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial;">When in doubt just raid your crafts closet. On one such raid, I randomly cut up pieces of threads and started braiding them and braided those braids. By the end of it I almost had a necklace in my hands. A chain and a couple of jump rings later, I had just that- a brand new necklace ! </span><br />

Three hours back Miley Cyrus went ahead and got her blond locks chopped off by celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan. <br />
<br />

Debuting her hairstyle on twitter, Cyrus said "Never felt more me in my whole life ❤." We know what a new hair cut does to our confidence and Cyrus seems to have had her own personal high from this super edgy cut. Its not everyday you see someone going from a perpetual top knot to platinum blond, sharp pixie so yay for Cyrus giving us hair fanatics something to gush over. It is to be seen if this pixie goes on to become as big as the Rachel did for Jennifer Aniston; also courtesy of Chris McMillan<br />
<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I love the cut. What do you think of the brand new change in this pop star's look ? <br />

The Indian flag ends up inspiring an unlikely prospect- a cheesecake.</div>

Chefs at the coffee place, Mocha have turned to what they do best to show their love for our country. They created this tricolor cheesecake(Rs. 150). Creative stuff, no doubt. However will it make you wait in line to stuff yourself with this Indian flag inspired sweet treat, is to be seen. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Personally I would have loved a navy blue coloured chakra made with white chocolate on top, to make it more Indian. The saffron (orange), white and green can easily be used to mark Ireland or Ivory Coast who share the colours with India. How's that for today's lesson in history.</div>

If any of you living in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata or Raipur indulge in this, do let me know how good it tastes. </div>

Dia Mirza debuted her new hair-do, brow-skimming bangs at the 2012 Vogue Beauty Awards, held last night in Mumbai. Mirza, who's natural hair is fine and straight couldn't go wrong with these mega bangs. I love the look!<br />
<br />
What do you think of these new set of bangs in Bollywood ? Here's looking forward to seeing how she continues to style it. <br />

Finally I am back.<br />
<br />
Back to my home. Back to my blog where I belong.<br />
<br />
Last Friday was my last day with Vogue India. The one year and four months in Mumbai, working with the world's favourite fashion magazine's digital team was a dream. I made great friends and had the best time working there. However, it was hardly <i>work</i> given that I was doing what I love. This made showing up at work, one of my favourite things to wake up in the morning for.<br />
<br />
However, with my wedding in December and several other things on my mind, I decided to move on from there. I will now be available full-time to continue pursuing what I love in my own backyard.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Before I left for Vogue, I was in the process of developing our blog into a website and had done all the ground work for it. However, the great opportunity came along and I put our project on hold temporarily. It is now time to bring it back to life and get it up and running.<br />
<br />
So, that I where I have been.<br />
<br />
Well, that and trying out a new smoothie every morning for breakfast.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fkBzbtRtIGvXLt44Cji0Tq28E5HQGgO9pHwu8oknOjdGC8BnwBOJvcGva4wHak6YURHcZU8yEeV-TTofTuL73JiQHJmE-wHe-L1LKqxcu8tmTnN08ILUcw2MSkLY4ppb2nsjDXPGJSs/s1600/smoothie1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fkBzbtRtIGvXLt44Cji0Tq28E5HQGgO9pHwu8oknOjdGC8BnwBOJvcGva4wHak6YURHcZU8yEeV-TTofTuL73JiQHJmE-wHe-L1LKqxcu8tmTnN08ILUcw2MSkLY4ppb2nsjDXPGJSs/s1600/smoothie1.gif" /></a></div>
<br />
And adding new yoga pose to my existing yoga routine before I down the jug of smoothie. Today I tried the wide leg forward bend.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is perhaps the most theatrical face massage, ever. <br />
<br />
I love the showmanship of this barber. He makes facial massage seem like something you'd love to stand around and watch. From warding away of evil, toxic energies to fanning and misting you, this is one ritual that's better documented than experienced. <br />
<br />
Will you be willing to put your face in his hands? I am.<br />

We can all agree that M.A.C launching another pink lipglass is really not news worthy, let alone interesting news. However, new faces, new lines and remembering a master hairstylist is what these past two weeks have been about. Needless to say, everybody is talking beauty.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The utterly charming if a little grandmotherly, Chanel No.5 gets a new face- that of man. Brad Pitt nonetheless ! With the endorsement he joins some very feminine faces </span><span style="font-size: small;">Audrey Tautou, Catherine Deneuve and Nicole Kidman who have previous lent their support to the 91 year old fragrance. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We were ecstatic about this collaboration. Looks like its a great couple of years for the new girl. An ad with Apple for Siri, a new sitcom, a new Broadway show, deals with Rimmel, Cotton and now Pantene. Way to go !</span></div>

This is a side French braid I did a few days back. A couple of strands have gone wonky but overall it turned out well for a braid put together one minute flat.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNODcE2nOCbPp-kcYv5vLpIJe1hFzUZIQYoZZuciNF8SBRQdxSvuFOnF6ufmDcroN2OCRIOHP_GR0Vum8WoZEWYNqatRHsJXS_QOXVs0yvG2WuL7eVKGZzMSBBaqL8daWu009Hzx9q-U/s1600/30032012645.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNODcE2nOCbPp-kcYv5vLpIJe1hFzUZIQYoZZuciNF8SBRQdxSvuFOnF6ufmDcroN2OCRIOHP_GR0Vum8WoZEWYNqatRHsJXS_QOXVs0yvG2WuL7eVKGZzMSBBaqL8daWu009Hzx9q-U/s400/30032012645.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726423099788121890" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How To:</span><br /><br />1.

<br />
<br />How have you been ?
<br />
<br />I've been good. Work is great but can also get very stressful. We had Vogue.in's first anniversary party on Thursday and it was a blast. So not stuck-uppy. Everybody loosened up and got on the floor. Boss, big boss - everybody.
<br />
<br />And now its that time after a party when the pictures come back and you you find all those embarrassing drunk pics. Good Lord. Lets not go there.
<br />
<br />Here is a pic of mine from the party. I know, its first time sharing a full face pic. Cant say I am not nervous but Mumbai making me slightly more brave.
<br />
<br />poof...
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Makeup Used:</span>
<br />
<br />1. Smashbox Photo finish Primer
<br />2. Revlon Photo ready concealer
<br />3. Milani Brow Kit
<br />4. Sleek Palette - Dirty bronze color on lid.
<br />5. Lancome Artliner - black
<br />6. Carmindy for Sally Hansen Blush - Cherub
<br />7. Three Custom Colors Lipstick - Majorca
<br />8. Julie Hewett Lipstick - Belle Noir
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">
<br />Lessons learned:</span>
<br />
<br />1. If you are having a fairly good skin day - skip the foundation.
<br />2. If its a dim lit setting, go for a bright lipstick . It pops well in pictures especially when you are wearing something as boring as black.
<br />3. Revlon Photoready concealer is the bomb. It really is perfect for pictures.
<br />4. Blotting sheets are a must in your bag.
<br />5. A blow dry before a big party is totally worth it.
<br />6. So is a pedicure / manicure. I went with a soft almost wedding-y color - O.P.I - Kiss on the cheek.
<br />7. Go ahead , have fun even if its a work thing. No body is going to remember a thing the next day. Not even you will.
<br />
<br />Umm...If you like this. I'll have up more makeup break downs now on.

It will get worse from now on I hear but for now am soaking it all in.<br /><br />Work has been great. I am still grateful for being able to do something I love. Lemme know if you'd like me to link my article to the blog for you to read.<br /><br />Work apart, life has started to kick in. I have a bunch of friends I like. I love their company. Love hanging out with them. Though I've never had a tough time getting along with anybody and am a pretty laid back person, its been very easy and loads of fun from the start with this bunch. More things to be grateful for.<br /><br />Boys. Umm.Get on twitter is all I have to say. I need you there. I need to hear from you. Be my twit fam. I love you to bits *pout*<br /><br />I haven't dated in forever. Its always just been distant crushes. Its been so long that now I don't know what to do. And question every move. But as I question I tell myself to let go and just have fun. So that's what I've been trying to do. Its about embarking on the journey now, not yet about arriving at the destination.<br /><br />These are some songs I've been listening to on repeat mode. Like I was telling my sister - they speak for me.<br /><br />Speak for what I'm feeling. Days when everything seems filled with hope and laughter and possibilities of something nice and warm. Of days when blood is rushing to your cheeks and you wont stop smiling.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8SJmWSWQgdM?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />Days when you are plain stuck. Stuck in the between the middle. When uncertainty haunts you. And hope seems distant and near at the same time.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NPNpWv4CdP8?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />Days when you think you have loads to say but will not. cannot. Mostly coz you don't know who to say it to.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AMV27YOoxZk?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />My favorite rainy day song. I just sit on my window sill, listening to this all day.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-RreZSDJI1c?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />Share with me your favorite rainy day songs. I'll give you more soon. I know am holding back with my stories. But I've always been this way. My best friend and my sister have a beef with me on this too. But am trying. Am trying to share more. Trying to let it all out. I will get around this and you'll hear more soon. Hugs. Kisses.<br /><br />Love,<br />Indian GirlAn Indian's Makeup Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09997260229865657349noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134888569806783678.post-74840498125839895122011-04-23T09:42:00.015+05:302011-07-09T17:03:12.479+05:30Green Homein Mumbai.<br /><br />I hear its rare. Just as rare as finding cute boys.

The terrace is what the lady lady calls - an Urban Jungle. Woke up this morning and took a few long deep breaths. Almost felt like I was cleansing my lungs out. And all this greenery just puts you in a chirpy mood for the day. I'm gonna take every chance to show this off.<br /><br />Here I go.<br /><br />Love the rosettes of leaves on this water plant<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5644819239/" title="DSC03747 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5068/5644819239_e867f4b645.jpg" alt="DSC03747" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5644819225/" title="DSC03745 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5187/5644819225_28e5d90d40.jpg" alt="DSC03745" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5644819233/" title="DSC03743 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5269/5644819233_b7865b85a3.jpg" alt="DSC03743" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br />Like mint but not (tastes awful)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5645416992/" title="DSC03749 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5105/5645416992_cdf837c052.jpg" alt="DSC03749" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br />Excuse the pajamas.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5645418804/" title="DSC03766 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5187/5645418804_d8e9de85d1.jpg" alt="DSC03766" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br />And then I found this beauty<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5644853239/" title="DSC03762 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5268/5644853239_50f5aed8a1.jpg" alt="DSC03762" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br />Green breakfast - Carom leaf<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62039712@N02/5644819243/" title="DSC03748 by makeup881, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5064/5644819243_6fff152d5f.jpg" alt="DSC03748" height="281" width="500" /></a><br /><br />Now onto the real deal with Adele playing in the background. I'm really not love lorn or anything. Pretty happy save for the part about lack of eye candy in Mumbai.

I have been ridiculously draining away money on taxis. I think I found a place..haven't sealed the deal yet. Been on my bff's couch - grateful to God she is in Mumbai. Cannot bring myself to give the local trains a try. I was at Lakme Fashion Week - such a giddy feeling seeing all the celebrities and every designer there is ! <br /><br />Soaking Mumbai in. You know all that they say about people falling in love with Mumbai ? Well lets just say all that hasn't happened yet to me.<br /><br />If you have been a regular Vogue.in reader, especially of the beauty section and you've noticed a new name appearing there, and its been appearing every single day - that's me.<br /><br />Imma be regular now on. I've missed you bunches and bunches. Every evening on the way home from work I've thought of you and this feels good.

You couple-y folks out there, good for ya – no points for guessing you have plans.<br /><br />Boyfriend or not I am laying off pinks and reds. Its been done. Its been done to no end. Forget them fake lashes as well. Let us focus on some understated glamour. This’ll get ya noticed for all the right reasons, keeps you comfortable and there will be no awkward runs to the girls room checking for red lipstick stains on your teeth! It is going to be about a wonderful date and a memorable conversation.<br /><br />Before we get to makeup lets focus on getting your skin ready. I have the perfect mask for supple, soft, look-at-me-I’m-fresh skin! Blend a couple of table spoons of oats in your blender to a powdery consistency. Mix this with a table spoon of creamy yogurt. Apply all over face and gently massage. Feel the blood circulating and then let it dry. Later, wash it off with warm water and follow with moisturizer. This winter I have been a slave to <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">The Solution by Envision Beauty</span>. It has kept my skin fairly worry free. Use the same mask with some sugar on your feet and hands.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.vogue.in/content/magical-v-day"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 346px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5020/5444886048_84061a4bc8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>With your supple soft skin you hardly need heavy duty makeup. Use a light tinted moisturizer / concealer, if need be. I am dying over <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">MAC Prolongwear concealer</span> – its been doing things no other concealer has. I swear I got told yesterday by this (cute – I die!) boy that he wouldn’t have guessed I had makeup on. He had no idea about them dark circles, yo! Go for soft shades of peach on your cheeks and lips. A hint of highlighter here and there, some mascara. No intimidating shades, no forced colors. Feel your best and it’ll show – I promise.<br /><br />Oh and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. And there is nothing I wouldn’t ;) We’re talking makeup. Just makeup.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.vogue.in/content/magical-v-day"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 180px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/4841466004_e4d19d5ab8_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Love,<br />Indian GirlAn Indian's Makeup Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09997260229865657349noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134888569806783678.post-83682328122944533702011-01-21T12:36:00.008+05:302011-01-21T12:50:38.153+05:30Golden Globes 2011 Makeup Yawn (for the most part)This year the Golden Globes red carpet was an assortment of dazzling dresses, pretty colors, and terrific designers. From the gorgeous blue Marchesa on Amy Adams, the fuchsia Lanvin on Julianne Moore, a variety of blush pinks, the exquisite emerald greens on Mila Kunis and Elisabeth Moss, the glittery extravaganza on Olivia Wilde – it was a feast of epic proportions for fashion lovers world wide.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.vogue.in/content/golden-globes-makeup-yawn"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 180px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/4841466004_e4d19d5ab8_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Unfortunately the same novelty or diversity was absent in the makeup department. Star after star walked the red carpet wearing the oft repeated red lipstick or a nude one almost always accompanied by an overdose of mascara or a smokey eye. They all looked <span style="font-weight: bold;">very pretty</span> but I, for one was disappointed about the lack of fun and color on their gorgeous faces. May be its time stars realize there is more to makeup than a gilded or smokey eye and a red or nude lip ! May be next time around they will take a more risqué route ? Je wonder...<br /><br />That being said, here is a medley of the reds vs. the nudes. Do you have a clear favorite?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5374335417_20e8530a89_z.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 585px; height: 585px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5374335417_20e8530a89_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5374935250_bac018b404_z.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 585px; height: 585px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5374935250_bac018b404_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Love,<br />Indian GirlAn Indian's Makeup Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09997260229865657349noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134888569806783678.post-18185140803101624382011-01-14T11:18:00.006+05:302011-01-14T12:39:54.250+05:30Look Sunkissed Not Sun Drenched !Ever gone over board with the bronzer ? These small tips might help ya out with it, this winter! Also check out the article on <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.vogue.in/content/sun-kissed-or-sun-drenched">Vogue India</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.vogue.in/content/sun-kissed-or-sun-drenched"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 180px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/4841466004_e4d19d5ab8_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Bronzer might be the single most widely bought / used makeup product in the summers but its real magic is brought to light only in winters. Imagine pale dead skin transforming into a healthy complexion, tinged to spring-y perfection – the mighty bronzer can do all that.<br /><br />And this.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5090/5354081814_0ce1348c5b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5090/5354081814_0ce1348c5b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Overdoing the bronzer can be disastrous – red carpet or not. Key is to dust the bronzer along the contours of your face instead of applying it all over.<br /><br />Start off with a light dusting along your hairline. Follow with drawing the infallible <span style="font-size:130%;">3 </span>on the side of your face – Start above your temple, pull into the hollow of your cheek and out onto your jaw line. Remember the <span style="font-size:130%;">3 </span>- this will be your secret weapon for everything from killer cheek bones, effortless contouring to the faux glow. Follow the three with a light dusting of the bronzer on the bridge of your nose. Now without dipping your brush into your bronzer, run it along your neck – you don’t want a pale neck on your gorgeous sun kissed face!<br /><br />Love,<br />Indian GirlAn Indian's Makeup Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09997260229865657349noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134888569806783678.post-16416999386430779842011-01-13T13:52:00.004+05:302011-01-13T14:15:15.754+05:30Rachel McAdams Does Yellow Eyeliner !!!Rachel wouldn't figure in my top five list of people to sport yellow eyeliner.

I love the curls - wish my hair would do that ! Looks so bouncy and fun !

He first lightly misted her hair with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Heat Protection & Shine Spray</span> to wet and condition, then focused on prepping her roots for the voluminous style by spraying them with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Root Lifter Spray Gel.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5331835253_98a468c21e_z.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 542px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5331835253_98a468c21e_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Danilo then blew her hair out and, once dried, rubbed a small dollop of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm</span> section-by-section before he applied heat from the curling iron. He used a medium-sized curling iron to set each section and sprayed the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Professional Level Style Shaping Hairspray</span> over the set before letting it cool for five minutes. He then released her hair, brushed it gently, and “let her hair fall very full and wavy.” He parted her hair to the side with lift in the front, and left her remaining curls big and loose for the final finish."<br /><br />Love,<br />Indian GirlAn Indian's Makeup Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09997260229865657349noreply@blogger.com3
